continues. It can be cut to half Its
present size. Accordingly he declares
that no less than 1382.000 can, oft

tion of $250,000.

duce the liability of forest fires. The

In event the legislature listens to
recommendation of the Industrial Ao
cldent commission to make workmen's
compensation compulsory. It will cost

More than 100 pounds of surplus
honey per colony Is the record of some
Oregon Agricultural college bees In
tests carried on this summer. The
result Is attributed almost entirely to
Inter car. by A. I Lovett, entomolo
gist, who made th. teats. Other col
onies, similar In every way but win
tered In the usual manner, made no
such record. Plenty of stores, plenty
of room and plenty of protection make
up the formula. The successful col
onies were wintered in a double hive,
the upper part filled with stores, the
whole protected from cold and mois
ture, i
At least five state Institutions will
need further fundi through the state
emergency board before the end of the
year, and the total necessary will be
above $100,000, probably In the neigh

based on figures In recent reports from
the Institutions In the hands of Secre
tary Good In, of the state board of con
trol. The requirements to complete
th. present blennlum will be about as
follows: Sta'e hospital for the Insane,
$63,000; state training school for boys,
$5000; state tuberculosis sanitarium,
$70b0; Industrial school for girls,
$2000; penitentiary, $35,000.
Fees of the state treasurer's office,
including those on Inheritances and on
Interest on deposits, are expected to
Increase over $100,000 In the next two
years, bringing their aggregate up to
$305,500, according to a statement filed
by State Treasurer Kay with the taxi
commission. Expenses for the office
for the two years are estimated at $36,
900. The Public Service commission,
exclusive of the state grain Inspection
department, estimates Its expenses at
$97,100, with fees of $2000 from log
boom companies. The state weather
board asks $30,080, minus fees of $12.
200, and the bureau of mine and geol
ogy $50,000. The Florence Crlttendon
Home expects $760C from the stats as
part ot receipts totaling $10,500.

By Mrs. Robt J. Burdette.
Th. firing 11ns Is now In your kit
chen. Knock out the breadline at your
table.
It has been said that th. Revolu
tionary War was won by men fed on
hasty pudding, in other words, corn
meal mush. Let it b. written in his
tory that the winning of the present
war was made possible by the United
States eating potatoes.
The manner of eating, the time ot
eating and even the kind of foodstuffs
eaten are largely a matter of habit
We do--not desire to break ourselves
entirely of the habit ot eating or life
would not prove worth living, but It
can be made to prove better worth
living if we change some of the habits.
Suppose we cure ourselves of the
hand-eating habit and see if w. do
not consume less bread. If yon were
to put your bread and butter on your
plat, and eat it with a knif. and fork
It would reduce the amount of bread
eaten at once. In some ot the Oriental
countries men carry strings of bright
red wooden beads that are known as
"Conversation beads," and they seem
unable to talk unless they have them
In their bands to play with and pass
from one hand to tbs other. We seem
to need something In our hands at
table or we feel the meal Is Incomplete
and that something Is usually bread.
Forget this habit and save wheat. It
you musi continue the hand-eating
habit, hoi a hot potato.

With famine creeping through Eu

produce enough food to sustain life,
the American farmer has a duty that
h. can not shirk. America must ship
' food to Europe for our soldiers.
America must supply bread to starv
ing peoples. No matter what other
! crops are raised, mora acres should
j be devoted to bread grains. "Do your
